Dr. Pugh’s work focuses on enabling the use of genome technologies to guide care for cancer patients. His research program is focused on understanding the clinical implications of clonal shifts in cancer and non-cancerous cell populations in tumours during treatment, most recently using cell-free DNA sequencing, single cell RNA-seq analysis, and immune repertoire profiling. He and his lab develops software tools and data analysis systems required to enable the aforementioned goals
